Homes Under $300,000 in Manti, Utah
Manti sits in Sanpete County along US-89, about 2 hours south of Salt Lake City and roughly 15 minutes from Ephraim and Snow College. It's a small town of around 3,500 people, known for its pioneer-era rock houses, the Manti Utah Temple on the hill, and the Mormon Miracle Pageant. Because Sanpete Valley prices run well below the Wasatch Front, a budget under $300K buys a lot here: older brick bungalows on city lots, updated ranch homes, and in some cases acreage on the edge of town.
Expect four seasons and a real winter. Manti sits near 5,600 feet, so snow is common from December through February, and summer highs usually land in the 80s and 90s with cool evenings. Many buyers in this range are first-time purchasers, Snow College staff and families, remote workers, and people looking for a hobby property with room for a garden, chickens, or a shop. Older homes are common, so ask about roof age, furnace, electrical, and insulation. Some historic rock homes need more upkeep than newer builds. Utility costs and property taxes are generally modest, and Manti City provides its own power. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market under $300K.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Manti.
What kind of homes can I actually get in Manti under $300K? ▾
Most listings in this range are 3-bedroom single-family homes between 1,200 and 2,000 square feet, often built between 1950 and 1990. Expect detached garages, larger lots than you'd see on the Wasatch Front, and homes that may need cosmetic updates. Newer construction under $300K is rare but does occasionally show up on smaller lots on the edges of town.
Is $300K a realistic budget for Manti, or will I be stuck with only fixers? ▾
It's realistic. Manti's median sale price has historically run lower than Ephraim or Mt. Pleasant, and move-in-ready homes do trade hands under $300K, especially older brick ramblers in established neighborhoods. You'll see more deferred-maintenance properties at the lower end of the range, but it's not a fixer-only market.
How are property taxes and utilities in Manti? ▾
Sanpete County property taxes are among Utah's lowest — a $275K home typically runs $1,200 to $1,600 a year. Manti City provides culinary water, sewer, and power, and natural gas is available in most of town. Many older homes still use secondary irrigation shares for lawns and gardens, which keeps summer water bills down.
What's the commute situation from Manti? ▾
Manti is about 25 minutes to Gunnison, 10 minutes to Ephraim and Snow College, and roughly two hours to Provo or Salt Lake City via Highway 89 and I-15. Most working buyers commute locally to Ephraim, the Central Utah Correctional Facility, county and city government, or healthcare jobs at Sanpete Valley Hospital.
Can I find a home with acreage under $300K here? ▾
Sometimes, yes. In-town lots are typically a quarter to a half acre, but homes on the outskirts occasionally come with one to five acres and irrigation rights in this price range. Anything with significant pasture or water shares tends to push above $300K, so act on those quickly when they list.
Do USDA loans work in Manti? ▾
Yes. Manti falls inside USDA Rural Development's eligible map, so qualified buyers can use a zero-down USDA loan on most homes in town. FHA and VA also work well at this price point, and conventional loans are common for buyers with 5% or more down.
